Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Biochemistry, Aquaporin, Membrane and Biophysics. Stephen D. Tyerman combines Botany and Water flow in his research. The concepts of his Aquaporin study are interwoven with issues in Hydraulic conductivity, Gene expression and Apoplast.

His research integrates issues of Peribacteroid membrane and Gating in his study of Membrane. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Membrane channel, Tetraethylammonium and Ion channel. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Transporter, focusing on Salinity and, on occasion, Plant cell and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant aquaporins: multifunctional water and solute channels with expanding roles. (520 citations)
  • Wheat grain yield on saline soils is improved by an ancestral Na + transporter gene (456 citations)
  • Wheat grain yield on saline soils is improved by an ancestral Na + transporter gene (456 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Aquaporin and Membrane. In Botany, Stephen D. Tyerman works on issues like Horticulture, which are connected to Salinity. His Biophysics research integrates issues from Membrane channel, Patch clamp, Ion channel and Ion transporter.

His work on Major intrinsic proteins as part of general Aquaporin study is frequently linked to Water transport, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work in Membrane tackles topics such as Peribacteroid membrane which are related to areas like Symbiosome. Stephen D. Tyerman combines subjects such as Berry and Phloem with his study of Xylem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (37.67%)
  • Biochemistry (26.46%)
  • Biophysics (27.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Botany (37.67%)
  • Aquaporin (20.18%)
  • Berry (18.39%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Stephen D. Tyerman mainly investigates Botany, Aquaporin, Berry, Biophysics and Horticulture. His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, Nutrient are connected with Inoculation and other disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Permeation and Transpiration as well as Aquaporin.

His Berry research includes themes of Ripening, Canopy, Phloem, Xylem and Pedicel. His Biophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Xenopus, Membrane, Transporter and Phosphorylation. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Cultivar and Water stress, overlaps with other areas such as Nir spectra.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling in plants (95 citations)
  • Energy costs of salt tolerance in crop plants (93 citations)
  • Chloroplast function and ion regulation in plants growing on saline soils: lessons from halophytes. (57 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Stephen D. Tyerman spends much of his time researching Botany, Shoot, Salinity, Ion transporter and Nutrient. Stephen D. Tyerman regularly ties together related areas like Abiotic stress in his Botany studies. Stephen D. Tyerman has included themes like Efficient energy use, Agronomy, Crop and Apoplast in his Salinity study.

His research in Ion transporter intersects with topics in Xenopus, Biophysics and Aquaporin. When carried out as part of a general Nutrient research project, his work on Zinc deficiency is frequently linked to work in Medicago truncatula, Colonisation and Rhizophagus irregularis, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His study with Membrane involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.
